Meltio Space
Robotic toolpath generator
Time to break free
A new perspective on 3D printing, specifically for robot systems, by breaking free from the limitations of 3-axis systems by incorporating advanced robotic manipulation capabilities including external axis like workpiece positioners or linear tracks.

Automated process parameterization
Optimize the performance of the Meltio Engine by fine-tuning process parameters for enhanced efficiency.
Automated process parametrization when defining only the Geometry (Solid or Hollow), the desired Quality (Utility or Fully Dense), and the Material.
This is defined automatically on Meltio Space:
The additive software module must be requested from the software reseller, as the machining modules alone are not sufficient to support the Meltio process.
- Deposition Height and Widths
- Material Selection (Dual Wire)
- Overlaps, Infill Type, Infill Density and Angles, Seam
- Speeds (Perimeters, infill, and travel speeds)
And also defines on Meltio Engine:
- Laser Power, Feeder Speed, and Argon Flow
Advanced robotic control
Intuitive
No previous expertise in robotics or programming is required thanks to a modern interface built specifically for wire-DED and robots.
Investment protection
Low capital and running costs. Includes continuous updates and predefined robot
kinematic libraries.
Powerful
Multiple slicing options including variable deposition to address a wide variety of geometries with very fast calculation of complex toolpaths.
Dependable
High success rate thanks to its kinematic model able to detect collisions along part creation even with part itself.
Post-processor
Offers a diverse range of post-processors for the most popular robot brands, including predefined options such as: ABB (IO), ABB (OPC), ABB (Socket), KUKA (IO), FANUC (IO), YASKAWA (IO).
Tuned to Meltio LMD
A comprehensive set of advanced features to use Wire-LMD options like Dual Wire printing.
More than 10 slicing strategies for industrial use
Combine and sequence different Slicing Strategies on only one manufacturing program, developed specifically for robot systems based on Meltio’s experience.
Radial strategies
Add features on bars or rods of your desired material and avoid machining large volumes of material, recommended for propellers (blades can be solid or hollow), camshafts, screw compressors, and mixers.
Coat, clad, or repair shafts and bars with the highest material properties.
Planar strategies
Conventional 3-axis slicing, horizontal or angled with up to two materials in the same process, limited by maximum overhang angle.
Ideal for simple geometries like pistons, drill bits, cranks, molds with internal conformal cooling channels, and differential growth heat exchangers.
Strategies for
revolved surfaces
Manufacture rotary symmetrical parts like rocket nozzles, vases, spherical, and cylindrical tanks with your desired thickness and the best surface quality with this slicing that follows the geometry.
Non-planar or freeform based strategies
Meltio Space offers its users a diverse range of post-processors for the most popular robot brands, including predefined options such as: ABB (IO), ABB (OPC), ABB (Socket), KUKA (IO), FANUC (IO), YASKAWA (IO).
Advanced variable deposition strategies
Manufacture directly on top of flanges different curved pipes and manifolds without the need to depend on standard curvature radii to fit properly your design. Admits also has pipes and manifolds with variable diameters along the part.
